Does my iMac support iOS8?

How do I find out if my iMac supports iOS8 so I can use AirDrop with Yosemite between the iPhone and the iMac? Is there a specific link on the Apple site?

System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Apple product, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, or refer to the Apple Support website.

Does my iMac support trim?

I have a 27inch mid 2011 iMac, iMac12,2
I have the latest version ov Maverick OS
I have 256 SSD, and a 1gb HHD
Does this system support TRIM? How can I tell?
Perry

I upgraded my wife's '08 iMac with an SSD last year (awesome upgrade BTW) and was interested in TRIM as well. I've read numerous articles on the topic with about an equal amount supporting TRIM on a Mac and others saying either that it's not worth it or that it can cause serious issues later. So I'm still on the fence about adding a third-party app to enable TRIM. She's not a power-user by any means...just the typical email, web and some iPhoto work so maybe it's a moot point but I'd like the drive to run as well and last as long as possible.
FWIW the SSD I installed, a 256K Mushkin Chronos, was the highest rated at the time.
Any thoughts from knowledgeable folks one way or the other would be appreciated.
TIA!

Does 2012 iMac support "4-pole (TRRS)"? *Audio related

I don't completely understand what "4-pole (TRRS)" is, so it would be better if I explained what I am wanting to do...
I'm looking to possibly get an Astro Gaming A30 headset to use with both my iMac and PS3. Normally, on a PC the A30 would connect via their "quick connect" cable to the PC's headphone and mic inputs, but since the 2012 iMac does not have a mic input, I asked Astro Gaming if there was another solution.
Below is my question to them and their response.
ME: I was looking into getting the A30s for mt iMac and PS3. I like the idea of the quick connect cable and was planning on having the mix amp plugged into my PS3 and when using the A30s with my iMac i could use them via the quick connect cable. However, the 2012 iMac does not come with a mic input... Is there a quick connect cable for usb instead? If not, what are my options?
ASTRO: Most iMac's feature a combined 4-pole (TRRS) connector which uses a single port instead of a seperate port for the audio and microphone. If yours features this (Apple support can verify), then you can connect the A30 Headset directly into the iMac and both the audio and microphone work correctly.
The A30 Headset features a single 3.5mm connector (TRRS) although we also include a PC Splitter which splits it into two separate connectors if needed which normally isn't for Mac's.

I think I was able to solve this myself... Once I got home I decided to test this with my iPhone 5 Earpods. I plugged them in and covered the iMac mic with tape. Covering the mic with tape turned out to be unecessary because once I plugged in the Earpods the "Input" device in the Sound settings changed from "Internal microphone" to "External microphone". I went on to test it by whispering directly into the Earpod mic and it registered on the input level. I then launched Ventrilo and confirmed that people were able to hear me.
I would like to see it documented somewhere, but my "test results" will have to do.

What version on Apple Hardware Test (AHT) does my iMac support?

When I start up my iMac holding the "D" key, it gives me this message: "Apple Service Diagnostic does not support this machine (iMac8,1/Mac-F226BEC8)"
I'm guessing the shop I took it to last year who reinstalled Snow Leopard used the wrong disc or something??? Anyhow, I need to find the disk with my correct version of ASD. My iMac is an A1224 EMC 2133. Thank you.

Look here:

EDIT:
Ooops! That refers to Lion!
The hardware test for Snow Leopard is on Disk 2 of your original install disks.

Does the imac support blu ray playback

????

The iMac along with other Mac do not support bluray playback....THAT BEING SAID,
You can play Bluray on the mac using an external bluray player and a piece of software known as Mac Blu-Ray Player.
I have it running on my MacBook Pro. I also do Blu-ray Authoring so I have a 12x BluRay drive in a OWC case.

Does the iMac support a USB-5.1 sound card?

I have a new Intel iMac connected though USB to a "Sound Blaster Live 24 bit" sound card connected via mini-jacks to a logitech 5400, but I am not getting 5.1.
In the Audio MIDI pref pane, I can only select "multichannel," not "5.1".
Is there any way to fix this? If not, I need an optical to mini jack... any idea if there is such a thing?
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
I don't know about the SBlive 24bit device.
However, the Intel iMac's all have built in 5.1 optical output from the normal headphone jack (it is optical and electrical). There exist TOSLink to 3.5mm optical cables, and some can even be converted to either.
There are also some optical to coax SPDIF converters available if your speakers only take SPDIF coax and not SPDIF optical.

Does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? (is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC?

does the built-in DAC on my 2007 mid yr iMac support 96/24 audio as it supplies signal to the headphone jack? If so, is there a reason to export audio via optical jack then to an external DAC then to stereo?

My suggestion to work around this problem would be to hook up an Airport Express. The AE also has an optical out the same as your iMac. As long as your wireless connection is robust enough you should be able to stream from your iMac to your AE and then have the optical cable connect between your AE and your DAC, which then connects to your Integrated Amp/Receiver/Pre-Amp (depending on your system configuration).
I assume because you are using the optical out and connecting to an external DAC that you are looking for a high level of Audio quality ?

Does iMac support Adobe Flash Player?

There are some hosting sites that push out corrupted versions. The above link is safe.

Does iMac support Adobe files

does iMac support Adobe files

The short answer is yes, but there are many Adobe programs - AdobeCS - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Flash, etc., etc.
If you want to view or manipulate the files you will likely need the applications. Adobe Reader is free to view PDF files. Flash is also free - there may be others, but most are paid for (as in expensive) apps.

Do the Imac support Corel graphics software? Or does Apple make its own graphics software?

Does the Apple Imac support Corel Draw for graphics design? Or does Apple provide its own graphics software package when making an Imac purchase?

There are thousands of graphics apps available for OS X. A very quick look on Corel's web site showed Corel Draw is not available for OS X, probably another reason Corel is in sad financial shape. Apple does not include any graphics creation software when you buy an iMac what is included is OS X and the iLife suite of products.
If you are interested in a substitute for Corel Draw then I'd recommend using Google to search for OS X alternatives, I'm sure you will not have a problem finding many suitable alternatives.

Does iMac support epson 1800 printers with os 10.6.8?

I am trying to use an epson R1800 printer with my iMac. It prints very dark photos that do not match the screen image. Does this OS support these printers. Have other users seen this problem. Is there any help out there?
Thanks,
Jo

If you upgrade an iOS device to iOS 7, iTunes version 10.7 is sufficient.
iTunes 11.1.3 does indeed work on OS X 10.6.8. To my knowledge, iTunes 10.7 will also run on OS X 10.6.8.

Does the new imac support 3D movie play?

I was wondering if the newest iMac can play 3D movies, like the new 3d blue ray/3D tv can, anyone knows about this?

There were two sources. One was the Apple iMac descriptions themselves and the other is the much more detailed info available on everymac.com .
Everymac.com clearly states the current iMacs support audio output from the miniDisplayPort, however when I rechecked Apple's website today, there is no mention of it in the current iMac tech specs.
So, this is, at a minimum, inconsistent information, and doesn't actually confirm one way or another whether or not the current iMacs support audio over the mDP.
On the other hand, Apple have 2 KB documents about this topic - TS3065 and HT4241 which state that audio output from the mDP is only supported on:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
Mac mini (Mid 2010)
MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010)
Interesting that the latest iMacs are not mentioned, but I believe both articles predate the latest models.
I understand this is not as definitive as I believed it was when I wrote my original post.
What mDP-HDMI adapter are you using and what device are you connecting to?

Does lion server support a single email address across multiple devices??

I am looking to move from an outdated Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to OS X Lion Server but I am unsure as to how Lion will handle email. I do not want to spend money on a new windows server if I can get a Mac Mini Server to do the job. I am a very small business with a number of email accounts for a couple employees and need access to email and calendar from both the office iMac's and my Macbook Pro when on the road. My IT guy says I need Exchange but he's been off base on a few other items recently and I wanted to check with other sources.
I have 2 new iMac's, a MacBook Pro, an iPad1 and and iPhone4 on the mac side of things and 2 windows computers running XP. I would get rid of the windows computers completely if not for my CAD program which runs best not in a virtual machine mode.
How well will email and calendar entries sync across devices?

I have a very similar setup at my office. Lion Server will push email, calandar, contacts to all of your apple product with out a hitch.
As far the Windows XP machines, you can access email over IMAP with Thunderbird, and calandars via sunbird or the built in web app.
I would ditch the exchange server move to Mac OS X Server, and never look back.
God Luck!
PS. All of your devices will be in sync all the time.
